The above error looks like its from the rootfs generation and not from
bitbake itself.

The first question is did it build libusb-compat at all? Are there any
stamps for this in tmp/stamps/*/libusb-compat* or files in
tmp/work/*/libusb-compat* that would suggest that it did?

Secondly, did it place any libusb-compat package into tmp/deploy/ipk/* ?

The answers to the above questions will start to help know where to look
for the problem.

Cheers,
